Comment on Announcements on the train should refer to "port / starboard side" instead of "left / right in the direction of travel", when pointing to the exits.

  I mean it’s not like ships pull up tu a start, unless they are spaceships that is.

  True. That’s a flaw with the english words.

  Yet the exit would always be on the stationboard side (left or right). So you would never know which side of the train to exit.
